WHAT'S THE GENDER OF THE COMPUTER?

A
language instructor was explaining to her class that in Italian, nouns unlike
their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or
feminine. "House" in Italian, is feminine - "la casa."
"Garden" in Italian, is masculine - "il giardino."

One puzzled student
asked, "What gender is computer?" The teacher did not know. So for fun she
split the class into two groups by gender, and asked them to decide whether
"computer" should be a masculine or feminine noun.
